5G services are about to kickstart soon in India. 

Where can I get 5G service on my iPhone?

In India, Reliance Jio, Airel and Vi will offer 5G services. Reliance Jio plans to offer 5G services in a phased-out manner. As part of the first phase, Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, and Chennai will get 5G services by Diwali. The operator said it will continue expanding its 5G coverage footprint gradually. Airtel’s 5G services, on the other hand, will be available in eight cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Varanasi and Bengaluru. The company will cover most major cities by March 2023 and the entire country by March 2024.

How much do I need to pay for 5G services on my iPhone?

As of now, no telecom operator in India has revealed 5G traffic plans. With operators investing huge amounts in creating infrastructure, they will need to launch 5G services at the right price. Union IT minister Ashwini Vaishnaw recently said that the government will ensure that the 5G plans remain affordable for the public. As one would expect, 5G tariffs are expected to be more expensive than 4G. 

Your cellular provider needs to create and release a carrier update file. It is quite misleading for your provider to state that Apple needs to do this.

I say that in every other country, when 5G was made available, it was available on all compatible iPhones. As to why your provider has not been able to make their network compatible, is unknown.
